Where to buy individual breeze blocks or bricks?

lilibeth

Ì want to buy about 3-7 breeze blocks. Failing that bricks will do. Is this impossible? Any ideas who to approach as it seems there is an unwritten law saying that breeze blocks can only be sold with a vast quantity of their friends? Maybe they get lonely. To make matters worse I'm in the middle of nowhere and would have to get it delivered. Colour etc unimportant. Please help, thank you kindly.

Do you have transport at all, or a friendly neighbour who could help out. Wickes and B&Q sell single ones in store, but they don't do home delivery for them and I think you'd struggle to find any one to deliver such a small amount without charging huge delivery fees.

lilibeth

No I don't, if I can convince a taxi driver to collect them I could do it that way, maybe. Do you know what they cost?

P.S Thanks for answering

Hi,

why not put a wee free ad in your local paper, I'm sure somebody will have a few lying about from a job.

freecycle members are always giving away bricks etc...

I second freecycle ...I've got a few concrete blocks that I keep trying to freecycle...you aren't in the Fife/Dundee area are you? Also lots of the uk freecycle groups have broken away from freecycle...fallen out with the American people who run it ... Dundee is now Freegle - I believe there are a few groups using this name - also try a yahoo groups search for recycling...you might have a local group with another name...(be aware though - ALLEGEDLY Freecycle is a bit miffed and keep hijacking names or something)

Hi,

here's another bright idea, do you know anybody wanting rid of an old electric storage heater, maybe the bricks from it would do the job.

ormus

yes. my local group is now called realcycle-manchester.

I really appreciate the suggestions people. In case it helps, it is to raise a cat scratching post off the ground on a balcony where water tends to collect at that end.
My problem still is getting them delivered.

I'm not in Fife or Dundee or I would love to have taken them off your hands.
